Why We Like The Mammut Selun FL Sun Hoodie
For long days adventuring outside, overcast or not, we're pulling on the Mammut Selun FL Sun Hoodie. As the ultralight build wicks away moisture and dries off quick to keep us cool as we move, it also helps stop UV rays from reaching our skin. Featuring an anti-odor treatment, this layer stays fresh through multiple wears, while the recycled fibers and low-chemical dye keep our carbon footprint light.

Go to Sun-Shirt
This sun-shirt has an incredible number of features. It is lightweight and stays cool even while baking in alpine sun. It's hood fits well over a helmet and stays on during long days. I have 3 shirts like it and this is my go-to one for any form of climbing

Great addition to the crag bag
About the right weight of fabric to keep you warm, but not to warm on a cool evening at the crag. Good Freedom of movement and functionality. Already thinking of buying another. Others have mentioned using this as a base layer...I can't say I'd be using it for this. The fabric isn't very breathable and can leave you pretty clammy/stuffy feeling. For me, it's more of an on/off layer for the cool evenings, shade, or wind.

Selun FL Hoody
I really like these style of hoody for summer alpine/rock guiding. Light and comfortable fabric. It's great that the fabric is recycled polyester and is bluesign built. Keeps the sun off part of my face and neck keeping my cooler and more efficient.

Excellent sun shirt
This shirt keeps me warm enough when it's cold and cool when it's warm. It can go multiple days of activity without getting stanky and can still do it's job. The hood fits really well under a hat and or helmet.

Solid Hoodie for Spring/Fall
This is a great sun hoodie that is more substantial than most. It gets full neck coverage and has material you can even pull up over part of your face. The sleeves also have thumb loops to keep them in place and warmer. The material is too thick for a hot weather sun hoodie. At the very least, you'd need to go with a lighter color. The dark blue on a sunny day absorbed too much heat. I think this would be ideal for Spring and Fall weather. I use something lighter from May through August in the NY area. Quality material and well-cut. I am happy with size Large and am 5'10" 17lbs.

So close but there are better sun hoodies out there
I have the skin complexion of Mead college ruled writing paper and depend on sun hoodies to get out there during the summer months. I have tried many different sun hoodies over the years because physical barriers are my go-to sun protection. I have already learned that I am bad at reapplying sunscreen throughout the day and sun hoodies are a game changer for me. My review is based on wearing the Selun FL as a standalone top, no undershirt or layers. The Mammut Selun FL does block the sun and help to prevent sunburn. The construction is top notch as one would expect from a premium brand. First, the seams are flat which is very nice, but Mammut should have considered a wooly nylon type of thread to make them less abrasive against the skin or at minimum reduced the threadcount for the type of seam (it appears to be a 4 thread seam making the stitching very dense). The fabric itself appears to be midweight as far as sun hoodies go. Its definitely not the lightest but not the heaviest either. It more closely resembles the fabric used in sun hoodies for water sports. The overall pattern used for construction does not have seams on the shoulders which help when carrying a pack. However, this same pattern causes the entire body to rise when raising your arms. Not just a little, it comes up quite a bit. A feature I really like is the integrated neck gaiter. It is superb and a very nice feature for long days in the sun. Although the thumbloop feature seems as if it were an afterthought and is made by sewing in a small strip of fabric vs integrating it into the cuff design. Overall I will relegate this to higher altitude duty since it is heavier and less comfortable than some others I have. I feel it would excel in this environment where it isn't 90+F outside but you still need serious sun protection and won't get too warm with a layer on underneath.

You'll never want to use a different base layer
I brought this and two other base layer tops on a 7-day spring ski traverse. I ended up using only the MAMMUT Selun FL Hoody because it performed so well in sunny conditions. The hood and neck guard allow you to hide from UV rays and stay cool. The green color kept my temperature in check much better than my other black base layers which would have gotten way too hot.
